<3 them for doing this. Though I always used a no-cd ISO
I'll update JBLS when the patch propogates to all 4 realms. Currently it is only US East.

Can anyone explain to me why they'd do this.

[Ringo]

Neat
West just had a big lag spike, so it might have just gone live on that realm to.

This sounds like it might be the last, or one of the last patchs that SC/BW will see
I Wish they would enable the ladder again, I used to have good fun playing them ladder FFA's where everyone urber camps, maphacks and goes carriers/bcs -- fun times.
They could have the server reset the ladder names that are ranked by rating/wins/played automaticly every 3 months or so, then anyone whos not ranked, keeps the stats.
Since warden is active, it would make it pretty hard to effectivly abuse the ladder.

aside, SC2 is coming out very soon right? I heard a rumor its release date or beta date is march, anyone can verify?

[iago]

Anybody know when the no-cd crack will be updated?

I remember seeing October of this year. I pre-ordered from Newegg mid-2007.

I'm not sure what to do... Should I just leave my NoCD up or link to the 1.15.2 patch instead?

[Joe[x86]]

Make a new one and say "The new patch requires you to insert the CD to retrieve data". Then move the file over, then say "Cracking completed."

[Barabajagal]

Heh... I wouldn't even have to do that... my No-CD grabs the Install.exe off the cd if it doesn't exist in the folder. All I'd need to add is Name App.Path & "\Install.exe" As App.Path & "\StarCraft.mpq"... and remove the memory scanner sub... and Storm.dll editor sub... Bah. Too lazy.

[Hdx]

What I would do is simply use the version info to decide what to do. If its >= 1.15.2 then copy over the exe, rename, and thats all, if not apply the patch. Because to be honest.. lots of people still use the older vers [offline, or w/e]

[Denial]

im way out of the loop although i do have some information i will be posting about battle.net changes for starcraft 2.


but on another sidenote.

is bnls updated for the newest patch even though it would disconnect after 2 minutes?

[Barabajagal]

Apparently not. I get an Old Game Version response from BNet when I use BNLS. JBLS works, though.

[Denial]

really? i totally forgot about that server what are the addresses for there?

[Barabajagal]

jbls.org, hdx.jbls.org, and my friend Apoc(GoD) is hosting one which is at fallen.realityripple.com.

[UserLoser]

BNLS works for me

[MysT_DooM]

think Denial means if those bnls servers are supporting 0x5E (Sc Warden)
